of his legislative conferences. tonight it will be republican speaker kevin mccarthy, not nancy pelosi standing behind him . >> that's always a tough job it would look at the facial expressions. the address will be followed by the republican response from arkansas governor sarah huckabee 's anders page she's the youngest governor in the us and the former white house press secretary under president trump. the ucd first lady arriving in the first lady's box. >> you see that area is filled with some of their guests for w look at to some of the descriptions about why they are they are paid we will bring in our panel. and coho stop the five, former tennessee congressman and -- and foxbusiness host feed dana, these are always big nights. we just found out that marty walsh, who we expect will no longer be in his job after some time to announce that today or part of that today, he is the designated survivor. >> it was a little unusual this morning to see that the secretary of labor was going to leave on the state of the union day. >> the president's cabinet as walking in. your thoughts on this night and set up to this speech. >> you mentioned that bibby hav to underscore the fact that thi is the first real kick off of the biting government fighting government in washington. the house republicans have shaken off their shaky start of getting this speaker elect. now that they have one, they ar acting so far as up pretty cohesive unit. that is different tonight. the legislative proposal that president biden will move forward will be stalled by the house republicans. we will see how he kicks off this 2024 election campaign. does he go back to his dealmaking roots like the last couple of years or does he try to play to the left and be voca and said they fought step steps either not interested in this vice president either. >> very true. >> cabinet members are coming in . secretary pentz and it's been a busy weekend, larry kudlow come up for both of those men, as we dealt with this chinese spy balloon, which is not now flyin overhead. >> for eight or 50 blade dollars , the penta book on budget can finally score a chinese balloon and do somethin about it. the intelligence party went to -- luck, my prince will interest i this speech tonight is to see i president biden fall make a dea with kevin mccarthy to cut spending and write that that limit so we can stop the inflation, which is rotting the power of the entire working middle class but that is my biggest issue tonight. >> the symmetry and elegance an patch into the evening, i marve at as well. we need a deal. i think that dana touched on that. last time the country saw the house floor was february 3-7 an read this and for the world to see this, we see democrats and republicans alike shaking hands and embracing each other particularly with dana -- >> people see if that is a unifying message tonight and ho it breaks down. we are going to take a moment here and listen to the action o the floor as we pause for the top of the hour. president biden is just minutes away and there you see the transportation secretary shakin hands with it romney. our special coverage up the state of union address continue in just seconds. >> a live look at the u.s. capitol, beautiful night here, clear in washington, see if the message is clooer from president biden, just moments away from president biden and tonight's state of the union address. i'm bret baier. >> martha: i'm martha maccallum. president biden will be announced with familiar call of the sergeant at arms, make his way down the aisle greeted by lawmakers on both sides. >> bret: look live at the second gentleman and the first lady and the president will layout his agenda to lawmakers and the american people. ayesha hasnie is standing by. >> we begin with jacqui heinrich. good evening. >> good evening, president biden won't directly assail republicans tonight, officials sent out memos hitting from trump tax cuts, adding to deficit, proposals for national abortion bans and to cut medicare. the speech is widely viewed as anchor to 2024 announcement, but not supposed to look like a campaign speech. progress made against all odds that needs to be protected and continued. >> let's go to ayesha hasnie on capitol hill, she will preview the republican response and what is happening there. >> the republican response tonight comes from of course the new governor of arkansas, sarah huckabee sanders. this is an interesting pick for a couple of different reasons, first and foremost, she represents the future of the gop, she is the youngest governor in america right now and part of what some are calling the rising generation of republican governors. she's a really good representation of the entire spectrum of the gop from moderate republicans to conservatives and that is really important for house speaker kevin mccarthy when you look at the conference he with a wide variety of republicans. she ran going after the biden administration pandemic response, immigration policy. she is not going to mince words tonight, she will show difference in gop ideology and the left. >> thank you. >> bret: live at the house floor waiting to hear from the house sergeant of arms william mcfarland, introducing the president of the united states and president biden will make his way down that aisle to a lot of lawmakers, senators and house members who often angle for that position to have the shaking of the hands. there are a few known to be there every single state of the union address and there is one of them right there, shula jackson lee, she is always there. let's listen in. >> mr. speaker, the president of the united states. [cheering] >> martha: we'll watch the president move down the aisle, good evening to you, bret. >> despite the applause you hear, he is looking at the possibility of reelection announcement soon and trying to set the stage for that. basically asking americans tonight whom do you believe, me or your lived experiences, as democrats like to say. this is a man whose own party members, 62% in the latest poll, do not want him to run again. so he's got to say things are better than you think, folks, i'm better than you think, folks. i'm ready to go, you should be ready to go with me. that's a tall order, see how he does. >> a lot of times these things are shopping list. over the years back to president reagan in 1982, they have woven in stories of people in the chamber to try to get drama, try to hit some points. the president is not known for rhetorical kind of emotional speeches, what do you think about this moment as he gets ready to announce a reelection bid? >> biden i knew was known for rhetorical moments issue bret, it has been less and less common to see and hear from him and we'll see if he's going to do it tonight. these people in the galleries, understand, for example, paul pelosi, badly injured in that attack in his own home, may be on hand and will be recognized and that will be an emotional moment and i expect the cheering will be wild. everybody knows paul pelosi, whatever they think of his wife's politics, like the guy, see if the president can associate himself in a way with him that is appealing to people. see how he does it. interested to see the president and how he does tonight, he's stumbled at time and speech constructed to help him with anything that might cause him to stutter or stumble. and see if he can do it, i expect he'll be innad goes form as he can be. >> shakes hands of supreme court justices and supreme court will likely come up in this speech, as well. >> yeah, no doubt. >> bret, we'll bring the panel back in. dana, in the excerpts sent out, he says my plan is about investing in people that have been forgotten, interesting he's using this terminology so associated with president trump, the forgotten men and women, as he tries to get back those voters that were traditionally democratic voters. >> dana: you'll hear from him about manufacturing jobs and your honor are of manufacturing jobs to the united states and you will see in the first lady's visitor box, a union worker from ohio, they are definitely realizing they have a problem and they are trying to fix it, not sure this will cut it. >> bret: harold, we just saw glimpse of nancy pelosi, now congresswoman nancy pelosi, not sitting behind the president for one of the speeches. it is a challenge to be in the minority in the house and it is a different environment now with kevin mccarthy as speaker, different priorities. >> for democrats, first time not had a pelosi or gephart. i think for tonight, that group will be challenged to come up with ideas also. the president will lay his out and be challenged with good stuff. >> mr. president at the podium receiving last round of applause, he typically speaks for about an hour, we expect he will do that this evening. there is interesting moment, kevin mccarthy waited a long time for that moment and the speech was just handed over to him as president biden gets ready to speak. the two of them met to discuss the possibility of reigning in spending, see if we hear about that tonight. >> house speaker says he will not rip up speeches and will not do anything, he will honor president biden. >> president of the united states. >> here is president joe biden in his second state of the union address. [cheering] >> mr. speaker. >> thank you, it's okay. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. thank you. please. >> president biden: mr. speaker, madam vice president, our first lady and second gentleman, good to see you guys up there. members of congress. [cheering] >> president biden: by the way, chief justice, i may need a court order, she gets to go to the game next week, i have to stay home. got to work something out here. members of the cabinet, members of the military, associate justice and retired justices of the supreme court and to you my fellowern ms, start tonight by congratulating 118th congress and newest speaker of the house kevin mccarthy. [cheering] >> president biden: speaker, i look forward to working with you. i want to congratulate the new leader of the house, democrats, first african american minority leader in history, hakeem jeffries. [cheering] >> president biden: i campaigned for him. congratulations, longest serving leader in the history of the united states senator mitch mcconnell. where are you? and congratulations to chuck schumer, another term as senate minority leader. i think this time you have slightly bigger majority, mr. leader, you are majority leader, that much bigger? yeah. i tell you what, i want to give special recognition to someone who i think is going to be considered the greatest speaker in the history of the house of representatives, nancy pelosi. [cheering] >> president biden: folks, the story of america is a story of progress and resilience. of always moving forward, of never ever giving up. a story unique among all nations, we're the only country that emerged from every crisis we've entered stronger than we got into it. look, folks, that is what we're doing again. two years ago, the economy was reeling, i stand here tonight, after we created with help of many people in this room, 12 million new jobs, more jobs in two years than any president created in four years, because of you all, because of the american people. [cheering] >> president biden: two years a ago -- two years ago, covid had shut down our businesses were closed, schools were robbed of so much and today covid no longer controls our lives. two years ago, democracy faced greatest threat since civil war and today the bruised, our democracy remains unbowed and unbroken. [cheering] >> president biden: as we gather here tonight, we're writing the next chapter in the great american story, story of progress and resilience. world leaders ask me to define america, i can define it in one word and i mean this, possibilitieses. we don't think anything is beyond our capacity, everything is a possibility. we're often told democrats and republicans can't work together, over the past two years, we've proved cynics and nay sayers wrong. we disagreed plenty and there are times democrats went alone, but time and again, democrats and republicans came together, came together to defend a stronger and safer, came together to pass once in generation infrastructure law building bridges connecting our nation and our people. came together to pass the law helping victims exposed to toxic burn pits. and in fact -- [cheering] >> president biden: it is important. in fact, i signed over 30bipartisan pieces of legislation from the acts, reform acts, the respect for marriage act that protectses the right to marry the person you love and republican friends, we can work together and find consensus in this congress, as well. [cheering] >> president biden: folks -- you are all informed as i can, people send a clear message issue fighting for the sake of fighting, power for sake of power, conflict for power of conflict get us nowhere, that is my vision and i know many of yours to restore the 93ing and rebuild the backbone of america, america's middle class and unite the country. we've been sent here to finish the job, for decades the middle class has been hallowed out, not one administration for a long time. too many manufacturing jobs moved overseas, factories closed down. once thriving cities and towns became shadows of what they used to be. along the way, something else we lost, pride, our sense of self-worth. i ran for president to change things, make sure our economy works for everyone so we can all feel that pride in what we do. to build an economy for the bottom up and middle out, not from the top down because when the middle class does well, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy still do very well, we all do well. [cheering] >> president biden: i know a lot of you kid me for quoting my dad, my dad used to say a job is about more than a paycheck, he really would say this, about more than a paycheck, it is about your dignity, about respect, about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, honey issue it's going to be okay, and mean it. folks, look at the results, we're not finish said yet by any stretch of the imagination, unemployment rate is at a 50-year low. [cheering] >> president biden: near record unemployment. near record unemployment for black and hispanic workers. we've created 800,000 good manufacturing jobs, fastest growth in 40 years. [cheering] >> president biden: and where is it written, where is it written that america can't lead the world in manufacturing? i don't know where that is written? for too many decades we imported and exported jobs and we're importing american products and creating american jobs. folks -- inflation has been a global problem because pandemic disrupted our supply chain and putin unfair and brutal war in ukraine disrupted energy supply and food supplies, blocking all that grain in ukraine. we're in better position than any country on earth right now, we have more to do. at home inflation is coming down issue gas prices are down $1.50 from peak, food inflation is coming down issue not fast enough, coming down. inflation falling for the last six months, take-home pay has gone up. over the last two years record 10 million americans applied to start new businesses, 10 million. by the way, every time someone starts small business, it is an act of home and madam vice president, i want to thank you for leading that effort to ensure small business have access to capital and historic laws we enacted that will come into being. standing here last year, i shared with you story of american genius and possibilities, semiconductors, small computer chips the size of a finger print that power cell phones to automobiles and so much more, the chips were invented in america, let's get that straight, they were invented in eshg america. we used to 40% of the number, now we are down to 10%. we saw what happened when chip factories shut down overseas, today's automobiles need 3000 chips for automobiles, american automobiles couldn't make enough cars, there were not enough chips. car prices went up, people got laid off, everything from refrigerators to cell phone, we can never let that happen again. that is why we came together to pass the bipartisan chips and science act. [cheering] >> president biden: folks, i know i've been criticized for saying this, i will not change my view. we will make sure the supply chain for america begins in america. the supply chain begins in america. we already created. [cheering] >> president biden: we've already created 800,000 new manufacturing jobs before the law kicks in. with this new law, we'll create hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country, all across the country, through the coast and middle of the country, as well, from companies that announced $300 billion in manufacturing. outside columbus, ohio, intel building semiconductor factories on 1000 acres, a field of dreams, going to create 10,000 jobs, that one investment. 3000 jobs in factories, once they finished. jobs pay average of $130,000 per year and many do not require a college degree. [cheering] >> president biden: jobs -- because we work together, jobs people don't have to leave home to search for opportunity. it is just getting started. think about new homes and small businesses, the medium-size businesses, so much more going to be needed to support those 3000 permanent jobs and factories that are going to be built. talk to mayors and governors, democrats and republicans, they'll tell you what thissen moos for communities. seeing field of dreams transferred to the heartland, we need the best infrastructure in the world. [cheering] >> president biden: and folks, as you all know, we used to be number one in the world in infrastructure, we've sunk to 13th in the world. the united states of america, 13th in the world of infrastructure, modern infrastructure. now we're coming back because we came together and passed the bipartisan infrastructure law, the largest in infrastructure since president eisenhower's interstate system. [cheering] >> president biden: and folks, already we've funded 20,000 projectses including major airports from boston to atlanta to portland, rebuilding highways, bridge, ports, airports, clean water, high-speed internet, urban, rural, tribal and folks, we're just getting started, we're just getting started. [cheering] >> president biden: i mean it sincerely, thank my republican friends who voted for the law and my republican friends who voted against it, as well, i still get asked to fund the projects, i promised to be president for all americans, we'll fund the projectses and i'll see you at the groundbreaking. s and i'll see you at the groundbreaking. and i'll see you at the groundbreaking. look, this law -- [cheering] >> president biden: this law will further unite all of america, projects like the bridge in kentucky over the ohio river, 60 years ago, carrying 2 billion dollars worth of freight every single day across the ohio river. folks, been talking about it for decades, we are going to get it done. i went there last month, with democrats and republicans from both states to deliver commitment of 1.6 billion for this project. [cheering] >> president biden: while i was there, i met a young woman named sarah who is here tonight, i don't know where sarah is, is she up in the box? how are you? sarah for 30 years, for 30 years, i learned she told me she was a proud member of iran members 44 -- known as -- [cheering] >> president biden: known as the cowboys in the sky. the folks who built, built cincinnati skyline. sarah said she can't wait to be 10 stories above the ohio river building that new bridge. god bless her, that is pride and that is building back pride. look. we're replacing poisonous lead pipes that go into 10 million homes in america. 400,000 school and child-care centers so every child in america can drink the water instead of having permanent damage to their brain. look -- [cheering] >> president biden: we're making s sure, making sure that every community, every community in america has access to affordable high-speed internet. no parent should have to drive by mcdonalds to do homework. when we do projects and i get criticized and make no excuses for it, we are going to buy american, buy american. folks -- [cheering] >> president biden: it is totally consistent with international trade rules, buy america has been the law since 1933, for too long past administration, democrat and republican, fought to get around it. not anymore, tonight i'm announcing all construction materials used in federal infrastructure projects to be made in america. [cheering] >> president biden: made in america. i mean it. lumber, glass, drywall, fiber optic cable and on my watch american roads, bridges and highways will be made with american products, as well. my economic plan is about investing in places and people that have been forgotten. so many listening tonight, i know you feel it, so many felt like you simply been forgotten. people past four decades, too many people have been left behind and treated like they are invisible. maybe that is you watching from home. remember the jobs that went away, you remember them, don't you? folks at home remember them. you wonder whether the past even exist anymore for your children to get ahead without having to move away. i get that, that is why we're building an economy where no one is left behind. jobs are coming back, pride is coming back. because choices we made in the last several years. you know, this is my view of blue collar to rebuild america and make a real difference in your lives at home. for example, too many of you lay in bed at night like my dad did, staring at the ceiling, wondering what in god name happens if your spouse gets cancer or your child gets deadly ill, something happens to you, do you have money to pay for medical bills? are you going to have to sell the house or get a second mortgage? i get it. inflation reduction act i signed into law, we're taking on powerful interest to bring healthcare cost down so you can sleep better at night with more security. we pay more for prescription drugs than any nation in the world. say it again, we pay more for prescription drugs than any major nation on earth. for example, 1 in 10 americans has diabetes, many in this chamber and audience do, everyday millions need insulin to control diabetes so they can stay alive. insulin has been around for 100 years, the guy that invented it didn't patent it so it would be available for years. it costs $10 a vial to make the insulin, package and all maybe $13, big pharma has been charging hundreds of dollars, four to five hundred dollars a month, making record profits. not anymore. not anymore. [cheering] >> president biden: so -- so many things that we did are only now coming to fruition. we said we were doing this and said we passed the law to do it, but people didn't know, the law didn't take effect until january 1 this year, we capped cost of insulin at $35 per month for seniors on medicare. people are just finding out. i'm sure you are getting the same calls i'm getting. look, there are millions of americans who are not on medicare, including 200,000 young people with type 1 diabetes and need insulin to stay alive, let's finish the job and cap the cost of insulin at $35. fo folks, big pharma is still going to do very well, i promise you they are going to do very well. this law also caps and won't go into effect until 2025, cost out of pocket drug cost for seniors on medicare at maximum of $2000 per year, you don't have to pay $2000 per year no matter how much drug costs are, you know why, you all know. many of you many in my family have cancer, you know drugs can range from 10, 11, 14, 15,000 dollars for cancer drugs. drug prices rise, they will have to pay medicare back the difference. finally giving medicare power to negotiate drug prices, bringing down bring drug costs doesn't save senior money, it cuts the federal deficit by billions of dollars, by hundreds of billions of dollars because prescription drugs are drugs purchased by medicare to keep their commitment to the senior. guess what, instead of paying 400 or 500 bucks per month, you are paying $15, that is a lot of savings for the federal government. why wouldn't we want that? some members here are threatening and i know it is not an official party position, i will not exaggerate, want to repeal the inflation reduction act. that is okay, that is fair. my football coach said lots of luck on your senior year. make no mistake, if you try anything to raise the cost of prescription drugs, i will veto it. look. [cheering] >> president biden: i'm pleased to say more americans have health insurance now than ever in history, record 16 million people enrolled in affordable care act and thanks to the law i signed last year, saving millions on premiums. that law was written and benefit expires in 2025, my plea to some of you in this audience, let's finish the job and make the savings permanent. expand coverage. [ applause ] >> president biden: look, inflation reduction act is the most significant investment ever in climate change. ever. [cheering] >> president biden: lower utility bills, creating american jobs, leading the world to clean future, record floods, droughts, storms and wildfires from arizona to the canadian border, more lumber has been burned than the entire state of missouri and we don't have global warming, not a problem. in addition to emergency recovery from puerto rico, we're rebuilding for the long-term, new electric grid able to weather major storms and not prevent forest fire, road and water system withstand next big flood, clean energy in communities often left behind. build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations installed that will cost iv w workers and helping families save $1000 per year with tax credit to purchase electric vehicles and efficient appliances. historic conservation efforts responsible stewards of our land, let's face reality. climate crisis doesn't care if you're in a red or blue state. it is existintial threat, we have obligation to confront it. i'm proud of how america at last is stepping up to the challenge. we're still going to need oil and gas for a while, but guess what, no, we do. [cheering] >> president biden: but there is so much more to do. we got to finish the job. we pay for investments by finally making the wealthiest and biggest corporations begin to pay their fair share. just begin. i'm a capitalist, but pay your fair share. i think a lot of you at home, a lot at home agree with me and many people that you know, the tax system is not fair. it is not fair. [cheering] >> president biden: look, the idea that in 2020, 55 of the largest corporations in america, fortune 500 made $40 billion in profits and paid zero in federal taxes? zero? folks, simply not fair. now because of the law i signed, billion dollar companies have to pay minimum of 15%, god love them. 15%. that's less than a nurse pays. crystal clear, i said in the very beginning, under my plan as long as i'm president, nobody earning less than $400,000 will pay additional taxes, nobody, not one penny. let's finish the job, there is more to do. have to reward work, not just wealth. passed my proposal for billionaire minimum tax. there are 1000 billionaires in america, up from 600 beginning of term, my billionaire should be paying lower tax rate than a school teacher or firefighter. i mean it, think about it. i mean, look. enthusiastic about that, think about it, think about it. have you noticed big oil just reported record profits, last year they made $200 billion in the midst of a global energy crisis. it is outrageous. why? they invested too little proveits increase to domestic production and i talk to them, they say we're afraid you are going to shut down oil wells and refinery, so why invest in them? we will need oil for at least another decade and that will exceed -- [laughter] -- and beyond that, we will need it. production. if they in fact invested in production, instead, record profit to buy back their own stock, rewarding ceos and shareholders, corporations ought to do the right thing, i propose we quadruple price on buyback and long-term investments. they'll still make considerable profit. lease finish the job and close the loophole for people who avoid paying taxes. i just signed law to reduce by cracking down on wealthy tax cheats. that is being fiscally responsible. last two years, my administration cut the deficit by 1.7 trillion dollars. the largest deficit reduction in american history. under previous administration, american deficit went up four years in a row because record deficits, no president added more to the national debt in any four years than my predecessor, nearly 25% of the entire national debt that took over 200 years was added by one administration alone, they are facts, check it out. check it out. >> president biden: how did congress respond to that debt? they lifted debt ceiling three times without crisis, they paid american bills to prevent economic disaster. tonight i'm asking congress to follow suit, let's commit to full faith and credit of united states of america will never ever be questioned. so my -- some of my republican friends want to take the economy hostage, i get it, unless i agree to their economic plans, all of you at home should know what the plans are. instead of making wealthy pay their fair share, some republicans want medicare and social security sunset, i'm not saying it is majority. let me give you -- anybody who doubts it, contact my office, i'll give you a copy of the proposal. congress doesn't vote. i'm glad to see, i enjoy conversion. it means congress doesn't keep the programs way they are, other republicans say, not saying majority of you, i don't think it is significant -- it is being proposed by individuals. i'm not naming them, being proposed by some of you. look, folks, the idea is that we're not going to be moved into being threatened to default on the debt, if we don't respond. [cheering] >> president biden: folks -- so folks as we all apparently agree, social security medicare is off the books now. [cheering] >> president biden: all right. all right. we got unimity. social security and medicare of lifeline for seniors. tonight let's all agree and we apparently are, let's stand up for seniors. [cheering] >> president biden: stand up and show them, we will not cut social security, we will not cut medicare. those benefits belong to the american people, they earned it and if anyone tries to cut social security, which apparently no one is going to do, i will stop them, i will veto it. and folks, i'm not going to allow them to be taken away, not today, not ever, apparently it is not going to be a problem. next month, i ask republican friends to lay down their plan, as well, i mean it, sit down and discuss mutual plans together. discuss our plans together. let's do that. i can tell you, the plan i'm going to show will cut the deficit by another $2 trillion and won't cut a single bit of medicare or social security and we'll extend medicare trust fund two decades, how doo we keep it solid? that is next. not raise taxes on anyone, we will pay for it the way we make sure wealthy and big corporation pay their fair share. look, here is the deal. not just taking advantage of tax code, taking advantage of you, the american consumer. my message to you out there, i have your back, we're preventing americans receiving medical bill, stopping 1 million surprise bills per month so far. protecting seniors life's savings by cracking down on nursing homes that commit fraud and endanger patient safety and prescribe drugs not needed. many of americans can save because they can get a hearing aid over the counter without a prescription, capitalism without competition is not capitalism, it is extortion, it is exploitation. last year i cracked down on foreign shipping companies making you pay higher prices for every good coming into the country. i signed bill to cut shipping cost by 90%, helping american farmers and consumers, let's finish the job. pass the enforcement and prevent big online platforms giving their own products unfair advantage. [cheering] >> president biden: administration is taking on junk for example, i should have knot i didn't until two years ago. 3o sign noncompete agreements for . 30 million. so, a cashier at ak across town and take the same jd make a few bucks more, it just d it. they exposed it. that was pk it up. not anymore. for banningr companies have to compete for wt they're worth. i must tell you,n response
